This video might seem a bit rushed and that’s because it is. It's hard to show everything at such a large show and I wanted to get this video out before the show ends so that other people can come down and check it out in person. All of the details on the show are in the description box of the video. Enjoy!

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: that's real considerate ...for both rockhounds and vendors.

[@justrees4929]

Thank goodness for you, because I hadn't heard this was going on! We always had a small one in Stevens County but THIS looks great! 😍 Hope you guys had fun!

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

You should come down and check it out.

[@deborahellenberger7153]

Thank you for sharing your trip. I was so fascinated by all you showed. So glad you had a good time.

[@cliffmiller1021]

Excellent. Great community. The dark room was the most fun for me.

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

I love a good UV display.

[@rockhoundingwithjasperblue]

Excellent video. I just love seeing shows that the clubs put together. You can feel the love that goes into some of those cases. Thanks for bringing us in! 💎

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

Yeah the cases were really impressive.

[@sandmaker]

There was a lot to see and hear about. You had a nice one too. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒

[@graemero5532]

Thanks for taking us to the show 👍

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

You're very welcome!

[@CityRockhounding]

Cool show. Appreciate you bringing us along with you on this cool journey. So many really great pieces.

[@RagnarRocks]

Love that colors of quartz case!

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

So many pretty rocks.

[@CharlestonFossilAdventures]

Thanks for showing a few of the fossils! 🤩 You guys are so much closer to all of the dinosaur deposits than we are here in the southeast.

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

I've heard about some of them in Montana but its not really something I know much about.

[@CharlestonFossilAdventures]

@@CurrentlyRockhounding Oh yes, Montana has an incredible diversity of dinosaur fossils! I’ve collected my oldest fossil from MT…a 1.1 billion year old stromatolite. Definitely worth a road trip if you ever visit any rockhounding sites out that way!

[@JessicaShull1928]

Thanks yo both of you.. nice presentation, from Jessica in Arizona :)

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

[@dollybelfiore7628]

With knowledge comes ...confidence! ...Than'x 4 another great video There are so many things here that I haven't a clue about!

[@jamesh5460]

These shows have some great samples for sure and people put some effort into the processing and I can spend hours looking.. Still, nothing beats going on an adventure and finding epic specimens of your own.

[@Ontario_Rockhound]

Awesome video, what a cool show. I can't wait for the local rock shows in my area to start up again, hopefully soon as the restrictions are finally starting to lift!

[@grandparocky]

I really enjoyed the conversational aspect of this vid. Great job!

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

Thank you.

[@sarahr.963]

Thanks for doing this video. We had 3 times the amount of people today. I'm sure largely because of your video. Next year I'm hoping to have a nicer display with labels. Hopefully I can display my large piece of chrysotile next time.

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

I'm glad the show did so well! Next year I will make sure to put in a case!

[@sarahr.963]

@@CurrentlyRockhounding Yes, please do!!! I enjoy seeing the rocks you find and obtain from other collectors. 👍 Hopefully I will be able to find some really nice pieces for next year. 😊😁

[@GREEKEXPLORERS]

Very cool video!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@UyenTranonyoutube]

Excellent video.Thank you for sharing.

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

Thank you.

[@nmrocks7310]

Great video! That green wood looks like calcocite wood from Cuba,NM. I have some that looks the same. It's from a copper mine that the copper sulfide replaced wood! Keep up the amazing work!if you two ever make your way to NEw Mexico I would be more than happy to bring you to really almost any mineral you are interested in finding!

[@leonalbert4319]

I actually just caught a blip on tv about it but missed what it said, I thought I`d have another chance to hear more on the next commercial, I had no idea it was this weekend, I`ll have to try to go on sunday, thanks Jared I probably would have missed it.

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

Go check it out! I hope you have a good time.

[@Nobluffbuff]

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

[@patriciamurray5612]

Thanks for the tour! I'm looking forward to early June. Planning on going to the King County Rock & Mineral Show. My daughters are coming with me.

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

Nice! That should be a lot of fun.

Aw, the three S's thank you for your love sir! (Slate, Shale, Schist) hahaha Thanks for sharing the walk through, looked like a nice selection of cases to view! Everyone should get out this weekend and check it out if able~

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

Thank you, it was a good day for sure.

[@kellyharper367]

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Being immuno compromised I never get to the shows anymore. Nothing smells as good as that "rock shop" smell combined with the aroma of excited people and popcorn. 🍿 🪨 🚶‍♀️ 🚶‍♂️

[@GeoRockNerd]

Cool, I’m headed there tomorrow with some friends! Looks like a good show!

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

Awesome! I hope you have a good time.

[@GeoRockNerd]

[@RagnarRocks]

@@CurrentlyRockhounding I have a stack of 3x1 pine if you want it

[@gregderksen1996]

looks like they took a torch to them and lacquered them up after. i may just do the same thing for my preciouses.

[@kaleyfantastic]

great video. you should put a "hmh" counter in the bottom corner.

[@ocklawahaboyrocks]

Great cases. I do believe pink lady is part of graveyard point. I use one of those palettes for a coaster in my office.

[@BackcountrywithShaughn]

agreed

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

I think I need a tiny palette of tiny thundereggs in my life.

[@ocklawahaboyrocks]

@@CurrentlyRockhounding a channel viewer contest? Best tiny pallet of rocks?

[@BackcountrywithShaughn]

@@CurrentlyRockhounding Yeah, those were definitely cool displays

[@dollybelfiore7628]

Great! ...something I missed! ... now I gotta rewatch it!

[@janvafa9959]

Oh my! I love the presentation by the Eastern Washington Geosciences! I wonder if they sell those posters that the rock samples were displayed on?

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

I don't think they sell things like that.

[@janvafa9959]

@@CurrentlyRockhounding - Too bad those would be very useful!

[@TarnishedViking.]

WOW! To much eyecandy, Now I have a headache. lol Awesome

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

Lots to look at!

[@rm8671]

I'll be there Sunday!

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

Yay!

[@TheRogueRockhound]

Awesome show buddy, did you find anything spectacular to take home?

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

I did not buy anything. I was thinking about some of the zeolites but they were all unlabelled.

[@DonohueLabs]

If you like fluorescence you really need some of that franklinite!

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

I know! I would really love to visit that location some day.

[@charlespharis6910]

Darn is It over never heard. A thing about it being thus weekend I was just looking in rock n gem thus morning to see if time n date in there darn very upset!!!!!

[@TheAdventureCloset]

That's a pretty big show. Some decent prices in there too. When is your Saddle Mountain field trip?

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

I would have to check on the date. Shoot me a message!

[@sarahr.963]

Saddle Mountain is April 30th. The club is meeting at 8:30am at the west bound Sprague rest stop. Complete listing of field trips is on the Rock Rollers FB page.

[@raininarizonaVIIOS]

how much was that Selenite Slab? Thank you for showing the cases and the vendors.

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

I didn't catch the price on it.

[@eng12b3p]

The wife heard your comment about Birds Eye Rhyolite and would like to send you some. We just need an address to send it too.😊

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

That's very nice of you but I think I can figure out where its coming from and go collect some ourselves. I'm not sure but I get the feeling that its not that rare of a material but I might be wrong.

[@ironkh615]

Cute! Cute! sir!

[@Yeso314]

Dude I was there, I spent waaaaaaay to much money, I wish I saw ya

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

Maybe next year! What did you get?

[@Yeso314]

I got some shark teeth, trilobites, gold, meteorite, ammonite, a squid fossil and some other stuff. What did you get

[@cactusmann5542]

30usd for a cluster???? Here they charge you 20 for a single SHORT crystal... For me thats a steal!!!

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

I saw some good deals.

[@cactusmann5542]

@@CurrentlyRockhounding I bet. Saw a large cluster in spain for 20 euros. Still regret not buying it. Who knows, might have been fake. Traded it for smaller stuff . Pretty much how I started it all. On the plus side cut rocks today. Chalcedony Onyx and a purchased nodule mostly...

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Y’all have a really nice show up there 👍🏼 Man… as per usual lots of Arkansas quartz nothing from Missouri. Not saying Arkansas quartz isn’t cool. It is! Zero lapidary potential though… That’s where Missouri really shines I think. I have to get to an out of state show sometime. Missouri is so underrated (I think it’s a mining company conspiracy lol jk)I think I’d do very well. I can see why people consider it exotic material lol. It’s not. I have plenty of pieces I’d happily sell for a dollar. Oh and TONS of geodes here also. Sedimentary rocks are better than igneous! 🤣 Don’t ban me I love you dude! Anyway… rock on Jared 💎👀💪

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

We do have some really good shows out west here. Did you really just say sedimentary is better than igneous? Them is fightin words!

Unfortunately they had a previous engagement and couldn't make it to the show.

[@jahankhanniazi4594]

You shoud speak or show the price of item.

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

I'll jump right in my time machine.

[@lylepascoe7243]

American sellers are crazy with their prices. Wow. The specimens are not worth that kind of money. People are getting greedy because rocks and minerals are getting popular again.

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

Actually rocks and minerals are worth what someone else is willing to pay for it.

[@gemstonebrad4481]

You are a lucky man that your wife likes rocks as well, my wife could care less, she doesnt even get excited over the jewelry i make, oh well.

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

I'm sorry to hear that. Sara is actually the one who got us into this.
